“Chinese roast pork is a classic, but pairing it with ‘drunken’ potatoes (braised in shaoxing wine) gives the dish a Sunday roast vibe,” says chef Yvonne Poon. “The nashi pear sauce works like a British apple sauce, bringing sweetness and acidity to balance the rich tender meat.”

Easy swaps If you can’t find palm sugar, use coconut sugar or soft brown sugar (use less as it’s sweeter).
The nashi pear looks like an apple and has similar crispness and juiciness but the flavour of a pear. Look for them – often individually wrapped – in good greengrocers.
